Quick Change Artists Resurrect Facebook’s ‘Scrabulous’ as ‘Wordscraper’

Hope springs anew for the more than 500,000 “Scrabulous” fans mourning the demise of their beloved Facebook game. Jayant and Rajat Agarwalla have launched a “new” word game, “Wordscraper.” The new game, which bears a striking resemblance to its banned predecessor, made its Facebook debut as early as Tuesday — the same day “Scrabulous” was removed in the wake of a legal tussle with the makers of Scrabble. Thus far, however, only 3,569 users, a fraction of the half million daily players “Scrabulous” once drew, are playing the game.
